Bloembergen (Research Institute for History and Culture, Utrecht U., the Netherlands) examines the colonial sections of the Netherlands' entries to world exhibitions in the period 1880-1931 in pursuit of what they reveal about the relationship between Dutch imperialism, the forming of images of the Netherlands' colonies, and the development of Dutch national consciousness. He focuses on the organizational structure and ideas underlying the colonial entries, on their arrangement and appearance, and on the way they were reported in the domestic daily press as well as in weekly magazines and illustrated periodicals. Part of his aim in this work is to test the theories of Edward Said's Orientalism, which he finds to be problematic in its ahistoricism. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
